PAGE 2 • PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1974 Wonder Weeders Plan For Hospitality Day How does one turn a lowly weed into a thing of beauty as shown in the picture above? Why, with a steady hand, keen eye, having a great deal of imagination, and belonging to the Wonder Weeders of the Woman's auviljory nf ! HOS}?!*?! for McHenry County. A visit to the library above Mrs. William Kelly's garage, where the Wonder Weeders meet each week to wreak their special magic on roadside flowers and grasses, takes one back in time to childhood summers spent in play in fields and forests. The sweet and musty fragrance of drying plants from meadows and woods permeates the place as members of Edith Kelly's Woman's auxiliary committee work with swift, sure fingers to create the now-famous dried- materials arrangements that however, there are quite a few on the waiting lists, so if enough more are interested a third trip will be arranged. Mr. Doerr reported on the proposed trip to the Morton Arboretum Oct. 23, and a visit to an audience participation show at a Chicago studio Nov. 13. Complete details on these trips will be given again at the next meeting. In the absence of the leader of th^ kitchen band, Mrs. Dolly Mazzarella, the band secretary, Lyda Radisch, gave a detailed report on the band's trip to the Illinois State Fair at Springfield on Golden Ager day. The band played in the Kitchen Band competition and gave a fine program. Members are still awaiting the letter from officials with their award check and official rating. They are very proud of their plaque. The band gave a program at Sunset Manor at Woodstock Aug. 21, and one at the Walworth County Fair at Elkhorn, Wis., Aug. 29. The band has a very busy schedule for the rest of their season. will go on display in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Edward Chereck on Holiday Hospitality day, Oct. 2. Every corner of the busy workroom is full of boxes overflowing with dried spurge, tansy, thistles, goldenrod, wild white yarrow, Lupine, palm flower squiggles, and purple corn. From the ceiling hang clusters of lavender lythrum, gathered in the Dan Cameron's swamp, drying now to later lend its gentle purple to finished arrangements. Suspended parcels of soft gray- white artemisia dry overhead, while frosty blossoms of Queen Anne's lace - spread flat to dry - already begin to resemble the crystal snowflakes they will become for decorating Christmas trees, holiday notes and wrappings. The sheer bulk of the material boxed and waiting for Holiday Hospitality day prompts the question: Where does it all come from? The answer reveals the ingenuity and determination of this congenial group of auxiliary members. It comes from everywhere! "Our country roads used to be lined with native flowers, $xit not any more," says Edith Kelly. "All our best spots have been mowed." So Wonder Weeders seek new sources of materials wherever they can, from travels to other parts of the country and different areas closer to home. "Most of our lovely tinted grasses this year came from the vacant lot at a shopping center," laughs one committee member. Some early naturalist once wrote, "What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered." Luckily for Holiday Hospitality day tour guests, the Wonder Weeders long ago discovered the multiple virtues of the weed With skill and imagination quite beyond the ken of the mere layman, committee workers transform the lowly and familiar backyard weeds into dramatic and exotic permanent arrangements. The money plant, dried and lightly tinted, provides its fragile disks to become "contrived flowers" in packages of assorted materials which the Weeders call Woodstock Combinations. Other contrived flowers are made of seeds of all sorts - maple seeds, wafer ash seeds on thistle stems, the seeds of squash, pumpkin, cantaloups, Turk's turban - dried and tinted in a rainbow of colors, then affixed to stems and arranged in handmade containers to be enjoyed all winter long. Each year the Wonder Weeders surprise and delight Holiday Hospitality day visitors with their use of unusual containers for their arrangements. Decorative bottles, molded plastic tiles in an array of colors, sizes and shapes, familiar telephone insulators in clever rope hangers, sea shells, and craggy pieces of the shagbark hickory tree all serve as containers or background for the hundreds of nc t*A'G ulinC UV015110. These and table arrangements of all sizes and a variety of wail plaques for home decorating will be on display at the Chereck house. Packages of assembled dried materials and masses of materials in bulk for the intrepid do-it-herselfer will, as usual, also be available. In addition to the Cherecks, the country homes of Mr. and Mrs. R.F. Huber and Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Hale will be open for tour on Holiday Hospitality day. This annual benefit is sponsored by the Woman's auxiliary of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County. Tickets and maps for the tour may be picked up at the auxiliary's own Gift and Thrift shop next to the old courthouse on the Square in Woodstock on that day.
